                  - 
            Before we get started, turn bObi Pet OFF and flip her over onto a flat surface. 
- 
            Next, remove bObi Pet's dustbin. Grip the small tab on the back of the bin, and pull to remove. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Grip the front wheel and pull straight up, using the screwdriver for leverage. 
- 
            The wheel will pop out and you will see two screws beneath it. 
- 
            There is a larger screw set deeper in the wheel compartment. Use the screwdriver to remove it. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Remove the screws on both sides of bObi Pet’s dustbin. Then, remove the corner pieces that were held down by the screws. 
- 
            Grip the brush compartment and pull down to reveal two screws on a red fastener. 
- 
            Remove them with the screwdriver. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Pull the brush compartment up until the fastener is freed from bObi Pet. Then, detach the brush compartment's circuit plug and set it aside. 
- 
            Remove the 4 screws located beneath the brush compartment. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Remove the 2 screws on the dustbin’s red fastener. 
- 
            Remove the fastener and set it aside for reassembly. 
- 
            The cover is no longer secured, so carefully flip bObi Pet onto her wheels. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Lift the cover to reveal the main board underneath. 
- 
            Remove the two circuit plugs connecting the lid to the mainboard. 
- 
            bObi Pet's cover is entirely separated, and you may now access any of her internal parts for replacement. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Flip bObi Pet’s cover over onto a flat surface so that you see 2 green circuit boards positioned at the top. 
- 
            There are 8 circuit plugs that you will need to remove. Leave the smallest circuit plug at the top in place, and do not remove it. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Remove the hook holding the yellow circuit plug against the lid. Keep the small hook and all screws safely aside for later reassembly. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Next, remove the 4 screws connecting the bumper to bObi Pet’s lid. 
- 
            You may nudge two of the oblong wall sensors out of their spot on bObi Pet to make room for your screwdriver. Be sure to replace them when done. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            On the left and right sides of the bumper are bObi Pet’s sensor strips. They connect to the circuit board by red and white wires. 
- 
            The sensor strips may be glued to the inside of the cover. Use a tool like a screwdriver to break off the glue. 
- 
            Then, lift the whole bumper up and out. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Now line up bObi Pet’s new bumper with the corresponding screw posts on her lid. 
- 
            Make sure the sensor strips slide in behind the screw posts on both ends of the bumper. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Once the bumper is positioned securely on the lid, reinstall the 4 screws around the inside of the bumper. 
- 
            Once again, you may nudge 2 of the oblong wall sensors out to allow room for your screwdriver and then replace them when done. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Next, you’ll need to replace the plastic hook removed previously. Place the yellow wire through it, and line the hook up with the screw post on the cover. 
- 
            When aligned, install the screw on the hook. 
- 
            Then, attach the thick yellow wire to the lower edge of the circuit board. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Continue reconnecting all circuit plugs. 
- 
            In the middle of bObi Pet’s bumper is a circuit plug for one of the 5 wall sensors. Plug this one in at the topmost spot. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            The left side of the circuit board has 3 spaces: The top space corresponds to the wall sensor with the shortest wire and no tab on the circuit plug. 
- 
            Just below that is where the leftmost wall sensor plugs in. It has a longer wire and a small white tab on its circuit plug. 
- 
            The space on the very bottom is for bObi Pet’s sensor strips. They have red and white wires. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            Repeat the previous process for the circuit plugs on the right and double check that all connections are secure. 
- 
            Make sure the the red and white wires are tucked behind the screw posts at the ends of the bumper. 
- 
            Make sure all the wires are tucked behind the black hooks lining the inside of the bumper before closing bObi Pet.
